The legends of the golden era of Italian soundtracks and library music go by many names, but the backbone of that era's definitive sonic identity is most often identified as I Marc 4 (also known as Marc 4 or I Marc Quattro). While the moniker might be less familiar to the uninitiated, it is a simple acronym derived from its founding members: Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (organ), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar). The number 4 serves to highlight the core synergy of these four master musicians. Their journey began in Rome's vibrant jazz scene of the 1950s and early 1960s, where they honed their craft as members of the RAI national orchestra and collaborated with the most prominent jazz and pop icons of the day. However, it was their pivotal role in defining the Italian cinematic sound of the 1960s and 1970s that secured their legacy. Their unmistakable style was an eclectic fusion of beat, jazz, classical, and Latin influences -- textured with early synthesizers, experimental sound effects, and a blend of electronic and baroque instrumentation. Beyond their work as session luminaries, they produced a vast body of library music under their own name at the legendary Telecinesound Studios in Rome. These recordings were released through prestigious library labels like Sermi, Ricordi, and Fonit Cetra, as well as through their own imprints: Nelson Records, Silver Men, and Silver Music, spanning a definitive series of sixteen albums. Ten of these volumes were issued on Nelson Records during the 1970s, featuring the now-iconic military stencil design. The series was completed by two elusive companion releases: S.M. 2001 on Silver Music and S.M. 2002 on Silver Men, both presented in the same distinctive brown sleeve. Rediscovered in the 1990s and 2000s, these Nelson releases have since achieved cult status among collectors, producers, and DJs worldwide. The final two installments, S.M. 2001 and S.M. 2002, remain the rarest and most enigmatic of the set. Often overlooked, they contain some of the most profound "hidden gems" in the group's catalog. Sonor Music Editions has meticulously curated the finest moments from these two rare albums for this first-ever dedicated reissue. Bringing together the best of Silver Music (S.M. 2001) and Silver Men (S.M. 2002), this release retains the iconic stencil artwork but introduces a striking silver finish. This design choice honors the original ten-album sequence while shedding new light on these outstanding recordings -- works that remain, in every sense, golden.

If you thought earlier Emanuelle scores had a great rhythm now you shall face this new sound experience and it will leave you astonished! Liner notes written by Maestro Fidenco, mastering by Enrico De Gemini, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

Beat Records presents the world premiere of the complete original motion picture soundtrack for the movie Il cacciatore di squali, directed in 1979 by Enzo G. Castellari. Superstar Franco Nero is Mike Di Donato, an Italian-American with a mysterious past dominated by a terrible event from which he is probably fleeing, leads the life of a good savage on a deserted island with his own version of Friday, played by Marta Miller, the gorgeous Argentinian actress with a prolific career in genre cinema. There are obviously many differences between this and Defoe's Crusoe, as this is a contemporary story that merely takes some aesthetic inspiration from the aforementioned novel, mainly the isolation from civilization and immersion in nature. The soundtrack was composed by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis during a deeply influential period in music history, as 1979 was the moment in which the disco music phenomenon was spreading like wildfire across the world, infusing every creative endeavor with its powerful energy, and the brothers Maestro were no exception. The main titles burst from the speakers with great skill, creating a musical transition from a quiet seaside scene into Mike's dynamic fight with a shark. Pulsating grooves, nervous guitars, derailing brasses, breaks artfully edited into sync, and the general musical tension creates a magnet for the spectator, glued onto the screen with both eyes and ears. Two other musical themes in the score lend a hand, one for lighter, more comedic situations and everyday life, and a series of tense electronic cues accentuated by a few live instruments.

"Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is a Netflix horror series produced by the Duffer Brothers, the creative minds behind the global hit Stranger Things. The story follows engaged couple Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone) and Nicky Cunningham (Adam DiMarco) in the tense week leading up to their wedding, as what should be the happiest time of their lives slowly unravels into a nightmarish descent of psychological terror and creeping dread. The narrative keeps guessing whether the threat they face is human, supernatural, or rooted in the couple's own fears and relationships, with eerie encounters, unsettling family dynamics, and haunting revelations. The series also features standout performances from seasoned actors Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ted Levine as members of the Cunningham family, along with Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Gus Birney, and Zlatko Buric. The music for the series is composed by Grammy Award-winning musician and composer Colin Stetson, renowned for his idiosyncratic use of saxophone in his projects. He has collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, and The National, amongst others. Scoring Something Very Bad is Going to Happen builds on Stetson's extensive experience in film and game music. He has composed soundtracks for films like the psychological horror Hereditary (2018) and the dark thriller The Menu (2022), as well as the epic Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). For this series, Stetson delivers a suspenseful soundtrack, perfectly complementing the Duffer Brothers' signature storytelling. A must-have release for fans! Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is available as a limited edition on red colored vinyl and includes an insert."

Best known for his Nekromantik soundtracks (Dir. Jörg Buttgereit), Hermann Kopp composed and recorded his new soundtrack to the 1920 classic horror film Der Golem -- a leading example of early German Expressionism by Paul Wegener. First released in 1914, three versions of this material were made, but only the 1920 version is still available. Using violin, viola and electronic/synthesizer sounds, the new score adds a more contemporary, sometimes noisy edge to the film, whilst not forgetting the esoteric and mysterious components of the Golem myth of Jewish folklore. Set in a ghetto of medieval Prague, the Golem, a clay hulk brought to life by a magic scroll implanted in his chest, is summoned as a protector and avenger. The soundtrack premiered March 7, 2025 in a Parisian cinema near Place de l'Etoile -- by invitation of Vincent Glaume (organizer of the legendary Au-delà du Silence events in France, who first proposed the idea to Kopp). It was also presented at Wroclaw Industrial Festival, Poland in October 2025. Hermann Kopp started recording songs on tape in the '70s, combining his violin with a Moog imitation in a very personal and minimal approach to music, with lyrics that bordered on surrealism. After a mini-LP in 1981 and his Pop LP of 1983, he became the fifth member of experimental synthesizer band Keine Ahnung. After a split, Kopp was contacted by filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit to participate in the scores for Nekromantik, later in Der Todesking and finally in Nekromantik 2. He has since released a string of incredible works through labels such as Galakthorrö, 4iB Records, One Way Static, and Vinyl On Demand.

LP version. Red color vinyl. The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom, Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote "Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini" (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's "Son Tanto Triste," descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own somber tribute to the director. Disgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his Trilogy Of Life, Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in European history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the ultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. Limited LP edition of 500 copies on blood red vinyl in gatefold matt-laminate sleeve.

Gadea's original soundtrack to In the Beginning, the new animated short film by director Ala Nunu, unfolds across three surreal, yet surprisingly real, stories about people and the world around them: a lunar probe's tardigrade cargo, 16th-century myths surrounding birds of paradise, and Hong Kong's pandemic-driven hamster cull. The film is a tonally absurd documentary-fiction essay on anthropocentrism and the human need to control narratives. This is Gadea's first musical accompaniment for animation. Collaborating with Marina Herlop on vocals, Gadea's sonic palette sits somewhere between field-recording minimalism, chamber electroacoustics, and the more fragile end of speculative composition.

Beat Records reissues the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone for the drama film La Scorta, directed in 1993 by Ricky Tognazzi, with a screenplay by Graziano Diana and Simona Izzo. Ennio Morricone is no stranger to the noir and crime genres. It was only natural for Morricone to continue his collaboration with Ugo Tognazzi's son Ricky, director of La scorta. At the time, Morricone prepared a 21-track assembly with a running time of approximately 49:21, derived from the stereo masters tapes of the original session. That material was first released on the premiere CD release and reissued in 2000 on CD and on vinyl. Thirty-two years after the original CD release and twenty-five years after the CD reissue, this thrilling soundtrack returns to the market on CD. To illustrate the drama and violence of the story, Morricone composed a soundtrack that draws deeply from his well-known sounds from the films of the '70s. This CD is truly essential for any collection dedicated to the musical genius of the immense Ennio Morricone.

"Back in 1987, Clive Barker's supernatural body-horror classic Hellraiser hit cinemas worldwide and introduced audiences to the demonic Cenobites. Barker was a devoted Coil fan (Peter Christopherson and John Balance), and he famously said they were the only band he'd ever heard on record whose music he'd had to take off because, in his words, 'they made his bowels churn.' He initially invited them to compose the film's music, and the group began recording cues. But the producers at New World Pictures ultimately rejected the material in favor of a more traditional approach, bringing in Christopher Young, whose final score remains excellent, if less experimental. What remains from Coil is an unfinished soundtrack with surviving fragments and rough ideas, abruptly left behind mid-process, a glimpse into an alternate Hellraiser movie, one listeners can only fantasize into existence. Nearly 40 years after the first Soleilmoon cassette edition was released, key long-term collaborator and Coil's 'secret third member' Danny Hyde located the original Hellraiser studio session tapes, and the bonus material recovered from them is presented here as an 'expanded ritual' edition, reassembled into a standalone, possibly definitive and strangely beautiful nightmare suite. Play it in the dark and experience the consequences of raising hell. Notes by Danny Hyde. Original artwork by Trevor Brown."

"The '90s had some of the best hip-hop soundtracks to complement their respective movies, and were compilations that could stand on their own. From 1991 to 1994, there was New Jack City ('91), Boyz N The Hood ('91), Juice ('92), Menace II Society ('93), and Above The Rim ('94). In between these movies, in 1992, the writers of Back to the Future, Bob Gale, and Robert Zemeckis, brought us Trespass, starring Ice Cube and Ice-T in an inner-city treasure hunt set in an abandoned factory in St Louis. The movie didn't break any box office records, but it was an entertaining film nonetheless. What was better than the movie was the 12-song soundtrack, released in tandem with the movie, featuring some underrated gems by Lord Finesse, Black Sheep, Gang Starr, WC & the MAAD Circle, DJ Quik, affiliates Penthouse Playas Clique and AMG. And for the first time, Ice-T and Ice Cube linked up on a song together for the title track. They would reconnect on 2Pac's second album for Last Wordz. Out of print on vinyl since its original release in 1992, Get On Down is proud to resurrect this soundtrack with a limited-edition pressing on splatter colored vinyl."

"Composed by Maestro Franco Micalizzi for the cult 1984 film Non C'è Due Senza Quattro, starring the iconic duo Bud Spencer & Terence Hill in a rare fourfold role, this soundtrack captures the playful spirit and global flair of the film. Micalizzi delivers a vibrant and rhythm-driven score, infused with warm Latin influences, breezy melodies, and an unmistakable sense of lightness. The result is a richly entertaining listening experience that perfectly mirrors the film's humor, energy, and escapist charm. A joyful and sun-soaked addition to any collection, this release stands as both a nostalgic tribute and a testament to Micalizzi's enduring legacy in Italian cinema soundtracks -- best enjoyed, perhaps, with a well-mixed cocktail in hand."

"1977 sci-fi drive in cult classic Laserblast original motion picture soundtrack LP. Directed by Charles Band, score composed by Richard Band and Joel Goldsmith. This is the first-ever original film score by two veterans in the sci-fi film and TV genre: Band later became known for such works as Metalstorm, Re-Animator, Pit And The Pendulum, Ghoulies, Puppet Master as well as television episodes of Stargate Sg-1 and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Joel Goldsmith, son of legendary maestro Jerry, later went on to score films such as Kull The Conquerer, Watchers, and Vamperella. Joel also handled the regular scoring chores for such TV series as The Untouchables, Stargate Sg-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. For Laserblast, Richard and Joel employed innovative electronic techniques which pre-dated the use of MIDI and other digital mediums. Also included are several '70s rock and roll style source cues which have also been tracked in another cult horror favorite, The House On Sorority Row."

"Claudio Simonetti's Goblin -- Profondo Rosso (Limited Mad Puppet Edition) celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Dario Argento's giallo masterpiece with a striking collector's release limited to just 666 copies worldwide. This exclusive edition features the legendary Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) soundtrack pressed on red marble vinyl and includes a specially designed 'Mad Puppet' mask, making it a must-own artifact for devotees of Italian horror and progressive rock. Few collaborations in genre cinema are as iconic as Argento and Goblin. The film's hallucinatory visuals and operatic violence are inseparable from Claudio Simonetti and Goblin's synth-driven score -- an electrifying blend of progressive rock, eerie nursery-rhyme motifs, and pounding rhythms that transformed horror scoring in the 1970s. Anchored by its instantly recognizable central theme, Profondo Rosso delivers an existential, nerve-fraying sonic landscape that lingers long after the final frame. Often cited alongside Suspiria as one of Argento's most celebrated works, Profondo Rosso stands as a defining entry in the giallo canon. Goblin's music -- darkly melodic, experimental, and relentlessly atmospheric -- remains one of the most influential horror soundtracks ever composed, shaping decades of genre filmmaking and soundtrack culture. This 50th Anniversary 'Mad Puppet Edition' pairs the remastered score with premium presentation: red marble vinyl housed alongside an exclusive mask inspired by the film's nightmarish imagery. Limited, visually bold, and sonically unforgettable, this edition honors one of horror cinema's most enduring audiovisual achievements."

"Released in 1987 and destined to become one of the most controversial and iconic films in European underground cinema, Jörg Buttgereit's Nekromantik is far more than a visual provocation: it is a radical, poetic, and deeply disturbing work in which image and sound merge into a singular emotional experience. The soundtrack by Daktari Lorenz/Hermann Kopp/John Boy Walton accompanies the film with a minimal and obsessive sonic landscape, suspended between piano melodies, decadent electronic ambient textures, and distorted childlike melodies. A deliberately alienating contrast that amplifies the film's sense of tragedy, loneliness, and morbid romanticism. This release is not merely a tribute to a cult film, but a celebration of music as a narrative force, capable of transforming horror into melancholy and transgression into a distorted form of romanticism. Limited Picture Disc. 450 copies plus three art inserts, expanded remastered edition."

The award-winning film Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash (2021) is romantic drama set in a working-class neighborhood of Indonesia's West Java. Although the story was set in the 1980s, the film's music director Dave Lumenta didn't want to use music from that period. He didn't want to automatically go with dangdut, the musical genre, a mix of Malay, Indian and modern pop music, the music of choice for majority Indonesia's working class. He simply didn't want the film to be stuck in the time setting and the social class. The film's scoring is richer, inspired not only by dangdut, but also by rock. In order for his imagination to be free of that time and social context, he decided to make music that was based on the film's characters. Lumenta was interested in vulnerability, because it's something the audience finds in the main character Ajo Kawir, an impotent who is unable to have an erection. Iteung, on the other hand, is someone who is very liberal in terms of her sexuality, but she also struggles with a traumatic past. The film successfully portrays the clash of these two characters. And from identifying these two characters, the composer creates a melody or leitmotif that represents each character. The use of analogue instruments is consistent with the film's spirit, which is shot using analogue camera. Lumenta created the music using acoustic instruments, such as the recorder, along with other sounds from an analogue synthesizer. The sound produced may not be perfect, similar to the grainy quality of an analogue film. But it is precisely due to that imperfection that the eyes and ears are compelled to watch and listen actively; listeners must squint to catch something more perfect, or listen closely to filter out imperfections in the sound. Consuming art created with analogue tools requires a different method of listening, watching, and working process.

Electroacoustic composer claire rousay (US) presents her new album, The Bloody Lady, featuring the reimagined score she wrote for Viktor Kubal's 1980 eponymous animated film. Kubal (1923-1997), a pioneering Slovak animator, is considered one of the most influential animation filmmakers of the 20th century. Known as a singular artist who challenges conventions in experimental and ambient music forms, rousay crafted the score in her home studio immediately after moving to LA over the course of 2023. The inaugural performance, a screening of the film accompanied by rousay performing the score live, took place at Videodroom / Film Fest Gent 2023 in Ghent, Belgium. The project has since been developed into an 11-track album with alternating themes that evoke the film's atmosphere while standing on its own as a distinct sonic work. Based on the lurid folk tale of Elisabeth Bathory (1560-1614), the trippy Slovak animated film The Bloody Lady follows the story of a Slovak noblewoman. Accused of murdering hundreds of girls and women. Her murderous motive: hoping to remain eternally young, she allegedly bathed in their blood. Central to both the film and rousay's score is the heart and its rhythmic pulse. Much like the story itself, her compositions are whimsical, with subtle hints of looming menace. As this underlying tension lingers in the background, the score incorporates everyday sounds and nature recordings to evoke an ethereal yet unsettling atmosphere. To create these emotive textures, rousay primarily relied on a blend of granular VST synths, piano, pitched-down violin, and an array of field recordings. In a twist of serendipity claire mentions she had been traveling around Hungary and had actually visited the castle of Elisabeth Bathory a full year before being commissioned to work on the new score. She had made some field recordings there, in both the forests and around the site and randomly recorded the ambiance in a local bar. All these sounds have found their way as foliage into the live soundtrack. The Bloody Lady marks an unexpected new chapter in Rousay's blossoming career, demonstrating her ability to apply her delicate melodic sensibility and meticulous attention to detail to the medium of film. This score becomes a deeply personal and heartfelt project, casting new light on Viktor Kubal's more-than-40-year-old magnum opus and helping it regain the recognition it deserves.

Starring the ever-stoic, quintessential action hero Charles Bronson, it was this film that defined the further careers of both Winner and Bronson. Right before this, they collaborated on The Stone Killer, in which Bronson plays a gritty detective from New York sent to L.A. to solve a case involving an old Sicilian Mafia family feud. The soundtrack is composed by jazz pianist and composer Roy Budd, who was also responsible for the much-praised soundtrack of the 1971 classic Get Carter starring Michael Caine. It begins with a gentle tender melody but it's a trick, as there is a 70-piece orchestra waiting to pounce. Suddenly the big picture is revealed and the listener enters a full-on Budd theme with a cool jazz accompaniment. The score perfectly demonstrates Budd's ability to blend jazz with orchestral arrangements in ways unparalleled by very few composers. In typical 1970s fashion, this soundtrack will surely satisfy fans of the jazz-funk and library music found on labels such as KPM and Music De Wolfe. The Stone Killer is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on 'Blade Bullet' colored vinyl and includes an insert with liner notes and a fold-out replica of the original movie poster."

The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom, Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote "Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini" (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's "Son Tanto Triste," descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own somber tribute to the director. Disgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his Trilogy Of Life, Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in European history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the ultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. CD comes in matt-laminate gatefold ecopak. Limited LP edition of 500 copies on blood red vinyl in gatefold matt-laminate sleeve (CSR 362LP).

Every N*gger is a Star is the legendary soundtrack to the cult 1973 Jamaican film! Composed and arranged by popular Jamaican singer and bassist Boris Gardiner, this music still sounds as the perfect blend between reggae and Blaxploitation oriented soul-funk groove. Needless to remember that in 2015 the title track was sampled for the opening track of Kendrik Lamar's iconic album To Pimp For A Butterfly -- in other words an essential release for all the ghetto-sounds freaks out there!

"Score composed by Gerhard Heinz. The score was composed by Gerhard Heinz, an influential figure in '60s and '70s European exploitation cinema music. Born on September 9, 1927, in Vienna, Austria, Heinz started his career as a young composer, lyricist, and pianist in the 1960s. He initially composed scores for German and Austrian B and C-grade comedies and sleazy soft-core action thrillers. Traveling frequently between Vienna and Munich, Heinz quickly became highly sought after for porn soundtracks. His distinctive music blended an infectious soul jazz sound with heavy funk and disco flavors. Over his career, Gerhard Heinz composed over 130 scores for a wide variety of films, though he remains best known for the music he contributed to the exploitation genre."
